How is voltage similar to gravitational potential energy?
It isn't. Voltage can be compared to the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL, which is a concept that is related, but different from, gravitational potential energy.Voltage is the energy change PER UNIT CHARGE between two points. Gravitational potential is the energy PER UNIT MASS between two points.
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
What equation can you use to calculate gravitational potential energy?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! To calculate gravitational potential energy, you can use the equation: GPE = mgh. GPE stands for gravitational potential energy, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth), and h is the height of the object above the reference point. Just remember to embrace your mistakes and turn them into beautiful happy accidents!
How high is an apple above the ground if its gravitational potential energy is 175 jouleand its mass is 0.36 kilograms?
PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, g is 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Solve for h.h = PE/m•g = 175 Joules/(0.36kg)(9.8m/s2) = 49.6m = 5.0 x 101m rounded to 2 significant figures
What are the 2 big categories that energy is divided into?
Two of the biggest areas of energy study in high school physics is kinetic energy (energy of an object that is moving) and potential energy (the potential of an object to do work - such as being being at the top of an inclined plane). However there are MANY other forms of energy.
